Here are a few FAQ’s to learn more about The Eclipse MicroPen® and Collagen Induction Therapy:

How Is MicroPen® Different From Dermal Needling Rollers?Automated micro-needling devices move in a vertical direction for better precision when treating the skin. Unlike automated micro-needling, the roller does not create a precise vertical action.
The lack of precision can contribute to greater discomfort and inconsistent effects to the skin.

How Is MicroPen® Different From Lasers?No heat also equals less downtime! Most Eclipse MicroPen® patients are red for 24 hours or less. That advantage means you can get the procedure performed on a Friday and be back to normal for work on Monday.

What Are The Benefits?The benefits of micro-needling can included a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Eclipse MicroPen® may also has a positive effect on the appearance of hyper-pigmentation, hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars, stretch marks and generally creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin.

What Areas Of The Body Can be Treated?Eclipse MicroPen® can be used on all parts of the body, including the: face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.

How Is The Procedure Done?A sterile cartridge containing 12 points is attached to the Eclipse MicroPen®. Your skincare professional will apply a thin layer of sterile saline or hyaluronic acid to your skin and select the appropriate pen setting based on your unique needs. Next, in a single motion, the pen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered.

What Does It Feel Like?The feeling associated with the Eclipse MicroPen® is similar to light sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating tip reduces discomfort while the applied hydrating gel also makes the treatment more tolerable.

What Is The Downtime?Immediately after the treatment you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the Eclipse MicroPen® setting used and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red up to 2 to 4 days. Many patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours.
Utilizing Skinmedica Recovery Complex can help to speed up the healing process and assist with results.

When Will I See The Results?Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?Some patients only require a single treatment once per year to achieve optimal results. However, it is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals.
